TIL there are dozens of neat little command-line tools hidden away in the Python standard library, available to run on any machine that has a Python installation https://til.simonwillison.net/python/stdlib-cli-tools

I just released symbex, a tiny Python CLI tool for recursively searching for functions and classes by name or wildcard
It's mainly useful for finding code to pipe to my LLM tool for command-line code explanations and refactoring

Being able to pipe code to an LLM in the terminal is really fun

`symbex Request | llm --system 'add type hints to this'`
